I don’t know much about football, but I do know about the golden rule!
Recently surfaced videos online show Carolina Panthers owner David Tepper getting angry over a 26-0 loss during a New Year’s Eve football game against the Jaguars. Tepper appears to have thrown his drink at fans in an apparent rage.
It is not clear who Tepper hit with his drink, with some sources reporting that he hit a Jaguars fan, but at roughly the same time Tepper threw his drink, we can see a Carolina Panthers fan in the top row peering over the box to see what happened.
Was that fan hit with the liquid? The video has since gone viral and NFL fans across the spectrum are condemning Tepper for his uncontrolled emotions during the game.
Take a look at the moment it happened below and let us know what you think in the comments section!

According to ESPN:
The incident appeared to happen with about three minutes to play after an interception by quarterback Bryce Young, who was so frustrated after a sack early in the game that he threw a tablet on the sideline.
A Panthers spokesperson declined to comment. NFL spokesperson Brian McCarthy said the league is “aware of the video” and has “no further comment at this time.”
Cedar Posts commented: “Panthers owner David Tepper tosses his drink at a Jaguars fan during today’s sobering 26-0 loss. He’s a total ass and an embarrassment to the Queen City.”

It’s really pretty simple:@Panthers owner David Tepper is an asshole and a football idiot.
His football-idiocy has been on display for six years.
His assholeism had pretty much been kept behind closed doors until yesterday when he choose chose to let it out in public. https://t.co/IcghL24lzK— Keith Larson (@TheLarsonPage) January 1, 2024

The NFL on Tuesday fined Carolina Panthers owner David Tepper $300,000 for unacceptable conduct.
